In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
blk-iocost: fix divide by 0 error in calc_lcoefs()
echo max of u64 to cost.model can cause divide by 0 error.
# echo 8:0 rbps=18446744073709551615 > /sys/fs/cgroup/io.cost.model
divide error: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP RIP: 0010:calc_lcoefs+0x4c/0xc0 Call Trace: <TASK> ioc_refresh_params+0x2b3/0x4f0 ioc_cost_model_write+0x3cb/0x4c0 ? _copy_from_iter+0x6d/0x6c0 ? kernfs_fop_write_iter+0xfc/0x270 cgroup_file_write+0xa0/0x200 kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x17d/0x270 vfs_write+0x414/0x620 ksys_write+0x73/0x160 __x64_sys_write+0x1e/0x30 do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd
calc_lcoefs() uses the input value of cost.model in DIV_ROUND_UP_ULL, overflow would happen if bps plus IOC_PAGE_SIZE is greater than ULLONG_MAX, it can cause divide by 0 error.
Fix the problem by setting basecost
